    AZOCYCLOTIN

    RESIDUES

    RECOMMENDATIONS

         In accordance with the report of the 1982 Meeting on
    azocyclotin/cyhexatin (para. 4.3),1 and noting the change in the
    estimated maximum residue for cyhexatin on beans proposed by the
    present Meeting, the proposed limit for azocyclotin to 0.2 mm/kg is
    amended in order to maintain the comparability between residues
    resulting from uses of azocyclotin and cyhexatin. The Meeting
    considered that a re-evaluation of the residues of azocyclotin on
    fruiting vegetables would not be worthwhile until further information
    on use patterns and residues data was available. It is important to
    recognize that good agricultural practice in the use of azocyclotin
    and cyhexatin should not lead to the use of these pesticides together
    on the same crop. Consequently, the maximum residue limits of these
    compounds should not be regarded as additive.
